Chapter 300. Country of Sakura, Cherin and the Seven Holy Swords [71]


    There was a glossy light pink sakura blossom pattern on Rose’s chest.


    (……Beautiful.)


    A four-petalled sakura on a snow-white skin.


    I was captivated by its beauty.


    (Come to think of it… Bacchus-san had something similar to this, didn’t he?)


    It was a black sakura pattern on his left chest, if I’m not mistaken.


    (I’m sure this holds some important meaning.)


    I was still staring at Rose’s chest while thinking about that.


    「I-It’s a little embarrassing if you stare so intensely…」


    Rose turned away while blushing.


    「M-My bad…」


    Even if it’s Rose herself who showed it first, staring at a woman’s chest is not a very praiseworthy act.


    I immediately turned around.


    「I’ll re-tighten my sash… so stay that way for a while.」


    「O-Okay… let me know when you’re done.」


    「I-I will…」


    I heard the sound of clothes rustling from behind.


    (I can’t calm down whenever I hear this sound.)


    The sound of clothes rustling when a girl is changing clothes.


    Whenever I hear this, an indescribable feeling of tension runs through my body.


    Approximately 30 seconds later, I felt a tug on the sleeve of my yukata.


    「Y-You can turn around now.」


    「O-Okay…」


    「…」


    「…」


    Awkward silence flowed between us.


    (As the man, I should say something first.)


    When I started wracking my head to come with a sensible topic, Rose cleared her throat.


    「S-So! The sakura pattern I just showed you – “seal of the vow”, is the proof that the “vow of succession” actually existed!」


    She tried to blow away this heavy atmosphere with a loud voice and fast-talking.
